Radioactive Treatments
Foreseen by Pathologist
Radioactive treatments may be
the way to break the hold cancer
has had on the world for so long,
Dr. Frank Tanner, Lincoln path
ologist, told members of Nu-Med,
society for pre-medical students,
at a meeting in the Union.
Dr. Tanner, discussing the pres
ent rate of cancer cases, its eco
nomic aspects, and causes -and
treatments of the affliction, said
that radioactive research has
given science a new 'method of
combating maligant diseases.
Education for Control.
"Education of the public and
the profession' will always be a
principal ajjency for controlling
cancer," he advised, "since with
any treatment, the earlier it is
applied the better are the chances
of recovery.
Radioactive phosphorous, he
said, may prove to be useful in
treating bone cancer, and radio
active iodine in treating cancer of
the thyroid.
Surgery, X-ray and radium, in
that order, are still considered the
most effective after radioaction,
in treating cancer, Dr. Tanner
continued.
Probable causes of cancers in
humans, the doctor explained, are
inheritance of susceptibility,
chemical applications and some
spontaneous cases.
"Excessive sunlight is known to
contribute to cancer of the skin,'
Dr. Tanner stated. "This know!
edge is applicable here in the
middle west, where our popula
tion is principally agricultural and
we get an Intensity of sunlight.
There is no age limit on can
cer, the doctor pointed out, but
said that older people are more
susceptible. Because people now
live longer than they did in the
past, cancer cases are increas
ing. Dr. Tanner Quoted the Ameri
can Cancer Research institute re
port that between 1776 and 1946
the United States has lost 575,
000 men in seven wars.
Cancer, the pathologist declared,
kills that many in less than three
years; one person in every eight,
60 percent more than all coirJ
municable diseases combined.

Orchestra,
Play Tonite
Pianist Sanroma
Fifth Symphony
Guest Of Season
Appearing with the Lincoln
Symphony Orchestra tonight as
its fifth guest artist of the season,
Jules Sanroma is a pianist,
"equaled by a very few and out
rivaled by no one," in the words
of the New York Times much
quoted critic, Olin Downes.
The protege of Dr. Serge Kous
sevitzky since the latin pianist
came to the New England Con
servatory at the age of 13, San
roma has studied with such piano
masters as Paderewski, Schnaubel,
and Cortot. He has performed
r
l-i-i r r . " n m-ii iimm
"Unsurpassed" Sanroma.
with the Boston Symphony under
Koussevitsky more than any other
artist, for a total of over 80 per
formances. Sanroma has recorded
seven major piano concertos with
that orchestra and with the Bos
ton "Pops."
For some reason, Mr. Sanroma
has chosen not to release his solo
piano numbers, but will announce
them from the stage. A persuasive
champion of the moderns, he will
probably include some of them
with traditional romantic and
classic selections. With the orches
tra he will play Rachmaninoff's
second piano concerto.
Conductor Leo Kopp will direct
the orchestra in Mendelssohn s
Fineal's Cave" overture, con
sidered by many music historians
to be his finest symphonic writ
ing, Smetana's "The Moldau," a
tone-poem by the composer of the
opera "Bartered Bride," depicting
the Bohemian river and country
side, and to close the program,
Delibe s melodic suite from the
